    Question Lake Oneida, Ontario water conditions?

    Hi Folks,

    I think west/central NY is getting the same torrential rain we have in MD. I am planning to hit Oneida Thurs and Ontario later in the week. Does all this rain muddy/stain Oneida and Ontario or does it stay relatively clear?

    Thanks, BAM

    Sorry to hear about your father. Was out of Henderson last week and found some fish in 8-12 right outside the Harbor. Wind kept me from running to the islands. I was using Drop shot and Ned rig.

    Thanks, hopfully we will be up this friday as long as the wind lets us, so far it looks ok with a light South/southwest for the weekend but I know that could change, we stay at the Aspinwall motel right down the road from the main launch at Henderson, nice place and a nice restaurant right next door if the ol man cant make it on the water, at least he can eat good, I think if weather permits im lunching in the oswego river for the first day and saturday going to try and make it out to the islands, I dont know which island is better but im going to give it hell. I wish I had more time to search but limited to the two days, any suggestions? ?
